The goal was quite simple: design an all-inclusive product that offers a complete integration of all of the elements required to achieve state-of-the-art loudspeaker management. This design goal was reached and exceeded with introduction of the DriveRack®
series. The 482 includes all of the functionality and features of the 480. Unlike the 481,
the 482 incorporates 4 inputs and 8 outputs on XLR connectors. The 482 also has the
use of a streamlined, tamper-resistant front panel. With this design feature in place, all
programming functions of the 482 can be performed through a 480 master, the 480R,
or via the Windows GUI. Up to 99 DriveRack® units can be chained together when
using the exclusive DriveRack® network protocol.
The 482 DriveRack® continues the legacy DriveRack® series, which has been created
by the company that has been redefining the standard of signal processing for more
than 30 years. dbx Professional Products has created a product that caters to
numerous applications in tour sound and sound contractor requirements.
The 482 DriveRack® was designed with the purpose and vision of providing four
independent input and eight output channels of processing power that include 31Band Graphic equalizers, as well as dbx’s own industry standard dynamics processing. All aspects of the aforementioned features can be controlled by the included
dbx Professional Products Interactive DriveWare™ software. Software updates can
also be downloaded instantly from www.dbxpro.com through the RS 232 port.
